I am absolutely gutted for her family and am struggling against deep despair.
I am so angry and so sad and my brain is screaming.
A sweet, good student I had in class last spring was killed by a stray bullet at a Halloween party. She had had a lot of struggles but she was turning it around and was going to graduate this January. And now she's dead.

Guns are evil. Guns are evil. ALL GUNS ARE EVIL ALL THE TIME.
They mostly go with that second one.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

We are disappearing human beings to forced labor camps or worse and the majority of white Americans continues to act as though it’s fine to keep taking the enormous privileges of being American without lifting a finger or even a voice to make it stop human trafficking, mass murder, and war crimes.

I looked it up...over 48,000 of those SNAP households are in Clay Higgins' district.

That's around 126,000 of his constituents, or 16% of the entire population of LA-03.
Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

"Mario" is hard at work in Watsonville, CA harvesting marigolds. "My job is to cut and make bunches of flowers for #DiaDeLosMuertos celebrations.These flowers will be used on alters to honor loved ones that have passed."
I love this mental image. 😀
Quick, Your Eminence, do it now while no one’s there to stop you!!!!
Catholics still do incense and holy water, right? They could at least do a little censing and sprinkling, I’d hope.

This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

And we have now progressed from data analysis to policy recommendations.

I told her that we'd calculate the cash value of her candy haul, that I'd ask her to raid her piggy bank and donate 1/3 the candy cash value to a local food bank, and that I'd add on a 5X match.

Same. Not that I'll turn down a York but I will happily attack an Andes. Several at a time in fact.
Yeah we do. (We might not get it, but that doesn't mean we don't need it. And by we I mean I, unfortunately.)
